SEASIDE PARK, N.J. — Authorities responding to a reported brawl at a central New Jersey motel eventually seized about $12,000 in counterfeit money allegedly made by one of the fight participants

Forty-four-year-old Deborah Sees, who lives at the motel in Seaside Park, faces numerous charges, including forgery, aggravated assault and drug possession. Authorities say it appears Sees was making the money in her room and may have circulated up to $50,000 in bogus bills.

Officers responding to the motel Thursday afternoon found a woman bleeding profusely who claimed Sees had stabbed her in the face with a fork. Sees and two other women were then found hiding in Sees’ motel room.

Sees was being held Saturday on $55,000 cash bail at the Ocean County Jail. It wasn’t known if she had retained a lawyer.
